i think i'm getting a soar throat. it's probably all of this staying up late and not
eating right. i just have to bear two more weeks of this. School will be over for me next wednesday. Thank goodness. I'm so tired of it all. I'm worn out.

I went and got cash today at the bank so I can resume purchasing my smoothies. I had to stop for awhile because I ran out of cash. Tomorrow... can't wait. :)

I'm going to go brush my teeth and go to bed now.
If you're bored, try this game. It's pretty fun. I can't seem to get a decent score yet.

The issue of your very own name is inevitably questioned everytime you bring up marriage. It's my name. Why should I give it up? Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I don't have the right to keep my name. However, there are very serious social consquences if I chose to flow against the standard.

what was I going to say? was I going to say anything.
I accidentally started writing in my architectural journal. Words keep pouring from my mind, finally able to escape the oppression of my lips. FLOWING.
I'm so uninhibited by the words that I write in a sealed journal. why am i so afraid of the world?

I don't know who to be anymore. This time last year, this journal was a safe place to be because I wouldn't dare venture out and speak my mind. Everything was only about a daily log of my physical activities. I have so much more now that I want to say. I want to be that outrageous voice that mocks me in my sleep.

I want to say those things that will offend you.

And I want to stay in silence. I want to suffer in this hellish world of COMPLETE aloneness. I get bitter when I see this crystallized world I live in. I feel loathing for everyone who is content and I feel guilty that I don't suffer more. BUT in the end, I do nothing.

I have so much to share and so much to say but I'm locked up. I have no one to blame except myself. I am my own oppressor.

inconsequential

Friday, April 19, 2002

I've been quite productive all afternoon long. I have to go tidy up the house now since I'm having a friend come visit me from med school.

I had a PBJ sammich today. When I went to make it, I discovered two pieces of bread with giant size holes in the middle of them. It doesn't look like the work of an animal. I'm not sure what it is. Poorly constructed bread most proably.

I don't have my theory II class today so I walked over to Dobie Mall and got my usual large strawberry bannana smoothie. I'm so infatuated with them. They have the perfect consitency of fruit, non-fat yogurt, and ice. I like a tiny spec of crunch in my drink. It's also the most soft and delicious color of pink I've ever seen. They're beyond too good to be true. I have to stay on campus till six to work on a group project.

I just read something really annoying on my listserv.

Theocracy in Action:
"ATHEIST"; License Plate Yanked by Florida Bureaucrats

After sixteen years of driving with a license plate that reads
"ATHEIST"; a Florida man has received a letter from the state
Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles informing him that his plate is
"obscene or questionable"; and must be returned.

A supervisor in the Bureau of Titles and Registrations decided to cancel Steven
Miles' plate last month after receiving a complaint about it, which was signed
by 10 people. Miles intends to fight the decision.

The St. Petersburg Times reports that while
applications for vanity plates are frequently rejected, for the state to pull a
plate which has already been granted is rare. [Read the story target="_blank" href="http://www.sptimes.com/2002/03/14/State/_ATHEIST__plate_raise.shtml" >here.]

hahahahaha.
I just had to take a break from my stressed out week and fits of self-laothing to bring you a cat newsbreak.

Tigger was laying on the table next to me and Dessy went to go lay down on the table next to him. Being the bad cat that he is, Tigger kept whining and trying to bite dessy cuz she was in his space. I tried to explain to him that it wasn't his table and that if he and dessy could sleep together on a couch, they could do the same with my table. He didn't agree. He kept attacking her when she was trying to lay down. I picked him up and told him he could have the bed all to himself. He sat down on it reluctantly and then gave dessy a death glare. Hehehe...Silly sourpuss!



Okay, back to fretting and anxiousness.
whew. i just got home. it's almost 4am. it's been so busy. i have so much to write as well..and i need to catch up on my live journal readings.

i'm just so tired. it's another one of those killer weeks. i seem to be having those alot lately.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEREMY!

Friday, April 12, 2002

you never truly realize how weird and abnormal you are until you notice that half of the things you want to say, you can't say to the average human being. when you censor yourself 80% of the time.

welcome to normal, freak.

I'm so hungry right now. I'm waiting for Jeremy to get into town. He was running late from a doctor's appointment. We're suppsed to celebrate his birthday this weekend. He doesn't know it, but I got together a few of our close friends to go out tomorrow night. hehehe. I hope he doesn't mind.
I gotz him lots of presents. He'll want to open them tonight but I'm going to make him wait till tomorrow. mwhahahahahaha. cuz i'm evil like that.

It's night, I'm up listening to some smooth jazz. It's great. You won't believe where I got the music from either.
I'm almost too embarrassed to say. I love the Sims music.. yup, i'm listening to the downtown jazz mp3s that came with the game Sims: Hot Date.

oh well. The kitites are here to greet me. Actually Tigger just said a quick hello and was off. Dessy is still around poking her face in my arm. yuppers, what a sweet heart.

I think they really miss Jeremy. He's the one who spent lots of individual attention with them. He plays with them and gets them all exercised. I just lounge with my cats. They do there thing and I do mine...but we do it together. hehehe.
I get really jealous when the cats lay on Jeremy's lap instead of mine. He can get Tigger to do this and Tigger doesn't like to lay on laps. Pooty!

Anyhow, I think I'm going to surf the net for a little and then call it a night.

Oh, I forgot to mention. A few days ago, I was working on homework with my group. We were working pretty late and decided to go to Dobie Mall across the street for dinner. we had some chinese food. It was pretty good and cheap too.
Afterwards, the girl we were with went to the Chippery and got a smoothie. I was like, hmmm..let me try one because I love smoothies. I got the strawberry bannana one. I am so hooked! I have to get one every day now. This is not good because they are expensive. I had no idea that place was over there. It's always lovely when your border widen.
my gruelling week is coming to an end. yeah.
i still have to be productive these next two days. i have paid work to catch up on and I have a load of misc. assignments I have to finsih up.

I need to cut my finger nails. They're way too long. They grow too fast as well. Is there a correlationg with hair growing really fast and nails growing really fast?

I just had some orance juice, bread and jam, and a bannana for breakfast. That's going to have to tie me over for the rest of the day. I'm going to head to school early to deposit some money into my account.

I wish I could just go back to sleep. I could sleep for days.

Wednesday, April 10, 2002

i don't know if i'm going to finish.
my head is dead.

it's almost 4am. i have until 1pm to get everything done and printed out.
this is so grueling.
i wish he'd extend the deadline to friday.

i have the munchies too. i don't know what to eat.
i just brushed my teeth. i should probably get back to work.

Tuesday, April 9, 2002

i'm so tired today.
On my way home from school today I was walking past a line of parallel parked cars.
I was glancing inside them. At one point, I glanced into a luxury car with soft leather seats and
all i could think about was how much i wanted to crawl in the back of it and take a nap.
i hate days where i'm barely alive.

when i got home, i took off immediately to the grocery store. I got myself some fruit, sammich stuff, and orange juice.
i always try to find something interesting to buy at the grocery store. i bought myself some caramel rice cake treats.
i tried one already, it was pretty good.

I'm warming up some rice now to eat dinner. I'm starving. All i had for lunch was half of a pbj sammy. the problem with Tuesdays and Thursdays is I have three classes in a row and that doesn't leave me any time to eat.

When I pulled into my parking space after groceries, I spotted my two cats in the window fighting. such bad rugrats.
hehehe. okie doke, going to go check on the rice.

Tonight is going to be another all nighter. I have major drawings due tomorrow for studio.

hackin' away.

Sunday, April 7, 2002

i'm writing my paper. the deadline got extended to Tuesday. I hope to get it done by tonight. I have so much to do before the week is over. It's going to be another one of those killer weeks.

Yesterday, we went to go find this place called Juan in a Million. We heard from a friend that it was supposed to be good, cheap Mexican food. It took us an hour to find the place. Downtown areas are such a nightmare to navigate. I think we got lost twice. We ended up not eating there because the neighborhood didn't look too secure. We'll go eat there later when we have more friends with us. We ended up eating at Chilli's. I got a margarita chicken and it was blah. I didn't like very much. I wish I had gotten the turkey sandwich instead.

Later, yesterday night, Jeremy, my brother, and I played Star Wars Monopoly. I was Obi-Won. The first game, Jeremy cleaned house. The next game, I slaughtered everyone. hehehe. I've never won an monopoly game before. In face, I've never played a Monopoly game all the way through before. I didn't know the rules. I used to play and never buy houses or hotels. The game can go on forever like that.

We went to go eat at Denny's late last night for dinner. I got a chicken fried steak. It was good but oh so baaad!
We're thinking about going to the County Line today to eat lunch. It's a barbeque place. This weekend, I'm being bad! hehehe.

Jeremy bought me a play tent to replace the one my cats peed and pooed in. It's so cool! It's larger too. I love it.

Letter to the lonely,

Sometimes I imagine my own death. I wish for it to be swift and peaceful like merging into a calm warm pool of clear tropical waters. Walking into the deep darkness and being engulfed forever into nothingness. Can you imagine an existence where you don't have to contemplate your worth every day? Is it possible to just be happy and not feel guilty for wanting it so badly? In this day and age, we have to be satisfied, we have to make sacrifices, everything is a give and take; everything is about a compromise. When we die though, what is left of these balances? They are forgotten. No one remembers what made my grandmother laugh when she was five, no one will remember what angered my father when he was thirty-four, and no one will remember what made me cry today. Ages and time they will forget for they know no memory worth keeping. All of the daily trivialities that we subject ourselves to are just sparkles of energy in a universe that honestly doesn't give a damn. Yes, we can make it all seem so important. Yes, you are unique. Tomorrow, however, you, I, he, she�it doesn't matter. We're all still one more day closer to nothingness. Shouldn't that make us happy? Hehehehe. Ahhh.. sigh. Laugh. Be cynical.
It's okay.

It is LATE mate.
I stayed up tonight working up at the studio late late late.
In fact, I've been at school ALL day long.. I'm very exhausted and drained but I'm not yet ready to go to bed.
My mind is restless.
I probably still need to lie down and try to sleep. I'll definitely be feeling this in the morning.

Wednesday, April 3, 2002

well, i figured out why i couldn't see my posts. when my brother was
toodling with my pc the other night he reset the time..and the year.
i tried to update the lj and edit it but it couldn't find it.
urgh. whatever. it's not worth the time.

i'm in studio right now. i've been working on the museum project.
i'm about to switch gears though and start my theory paper on SPACE.
i tested my prof. i was right. he's a conservative.
oh well.

i just got through eating dinner. i got a ceaser salad and a drink.
i was having a discussion with my classmates earlier about diets.
one of my friends tried to do the slim fast thing just like .
the thing about those is that they're temporary solutions. in my opinion
it's more like a torture shake. i need sustenance. i couldn't imagine not consuming
food and just having a shake instead. i'd go hungry mentally.
it's so hard to be on a diet in America. just look at our grocery stores. it's filled
with nothing but aisles and aisles of junk. if you want to eat a healthy meal you almost have to make it from scratch. i hate cooking. even cereal isn't all that good for you.
calorie counting has been the best method for me so far...quite simply because i do relatively no exercise... Activity is what i prefer. the whole idea of going to a gym and squirming around on some mechanical devices just seems tortorous. i prefer strolling, site seeing, biking, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator...blah blah blah. i was able to lose 20lbs since december from calorie counting. i know, it's annoying and if you tell your friends, they'll roll their eyes. i used to do that too. there's nothing worse than being at a dinner table trying to enjoy your food and people are talking about how you shouldn't be eating this or that... or i can only eat blah blah blah. so i think diets have to be a personal endeavor...for them to really work. they have to be come a daily routine..a habit, and instinct...something that is natural..not something you have to suffer through.

i really wish being fat wasn't a big deal here. it pisses me off. okay, it's gross to be obese simply because you can start to see the physical health problems start to appear. when people have a problem getting up and down or even walking across a room, there's a problem. the american lifestyle is rather privledged; physical labor isn't in our daily vocabulary. so why the hell do we need to look like we are starving and overworked? that is the lie of beauty.

oh well. let us be the slaves of our own vanity.
hehehe. i don't own a scale because i'm so terrified of becoming obsessed with losing another pound. i already have a mental problem when it comes to my own body.
i lose weight but i can't see it. i gain weight and i can't see it. thin is never thin enough.
but i know i'm not a unique in this world. this is the sick sick secret opression of millions of americans.

GO OUT AND GET YOUR VOGUE MAGAZINE TODAY!
"Cookie-cutter clothes,
Make-up, diets, gyms, and drugs;
You CAN clone humans."
I was taking a break from working today and laid down on the bed.
Dessy got up from where she was and plopped herself down next to me and put her head on the pillow and
stared at me.

I really need to get out more. I'm obsessed with my cats.

I'm supposed to be reading about "space". I have a paper due on Thursday and I don't want to do it. I'm sick of papers.
I take that back, I hate writing book reports. I prefer manifestos. :)

I just ate some noodles and an orange for dinner. It wasn't very satisfying so I'll prolly have some hot chocolate or milk and oreos later on tonight.
I'm procrastinating right now. I don't want to read anymore about space. It's all so trivial. We spend a whole century constructing a term and then spend the next hundred years analysing its definition.

peace.
i had bread and jam for breakfast with a cup of OJ.
I've been working all morning except for when Dessy started whining for me to play with her. She even went downstairs to get her string for me. hehehe. How cute.
They she tried to help me do my work but she's not used to reading construction documents yet. :)

sleeping cutie
okay, well i just wrote this post, sent it, and then it dissapeared into the void.
:P
that sucks.
what did i write anyhow?

Oh yes, two days ago I installed this crack for a serenescreen aquarium screen saver. in doing so, i also
installed some spyware software into my computer. my brother spent last night finding a way to get rid of it. luckily he was able to because i was afraid we'd have to reformat my computer. it was really annoying. it would pop up every time i opened up an application.

after fixing that, my brother decided to fix my reboot problem. when he tried to run my winxp cd, the cd rom made an aweful noise and then spat out a shard of the cd prolly going around 30k rps against the wall. very scary. he had to disect
the rest of the cd rom to get the rest of the shards out. unfortunately, the cdrom never worked after that. it's laying on my desk with its guts showing. :)

anyhow, i didn't want to wake up this morning. jeremy gave me wake up call..thank god..cuz my alarm clock wasn't cutting it. I'm about to head off to school. :P
I got a spy cam for easter compliment of jerms. i'm going to try it out during school.

well, hopefully it send this time.
TWO days ago, I ran this crack on my computer for this serenescrene aquarium software. By doing so, though, I
put a spyware software on my computer too... very annoying. My brother got rid of it yesterday. It kept popping up everytime I closed
an application. I was pissed of by it. I was afraid I'd have to format my computer again. Then, after we got that fixed, my brother
decided to try and fix my reboot problem. He stuck in the winxp cd in my cd rom drive. It made this horrible noise and then sent a shard
of the cd flying up against the wall going maybe 30,000 rps. scary. we had to disect the cd rom to get the rest of the pieces out.
The cd rom is bust..luckily it wasn't my burner.

I woke up this morning, got cleaned up, dressed, fed the kitties, and worked on my drawing for drawing clinic this morning.
Today is going to be a long day. I just want to go back to bed. I'm so tired tired tired.
I got a spy cam for easter this weekend (compliments of jerms), so I'm going to try it out during school..

*slap* WAKE UP!
